Dip each cauliflower floret into the wet mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Then coat with the flour mixture, ensuring they are well covered.

Place the coated florets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Work in batches if necessary, ensuring not to overcrowd.

While the cauliflower is cooking, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a small pot, heat the hot sauce and melted vegan butter over medium heat, stirring to combine.
